↓
SIRS:
-mediator excess: cytokines (ex. tumor necrosis factor, interleukins), O2 free radicals, etc.
- vasodilation and increased capillary permeability
-tissue edema
-neutrophil entrapment in microcirculation
↓
Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS):

- liver dysfunction
- CNS dysfunction
- Renal dysfunction
- Skin dysfunction
Shock Pathophysiology
gas transport steps
ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome)
removal of CO2 steps
Definition 5 of 39
ventilate alveoli
diffuse gases in and out of blood,
perfuse the lungs so that the organs and tissues of the body receive blood that is rich in O2
and low in CO2
Restrictive disorders: define and examples
Ventilation
Functions of the pulmonary system
Elastic recoil of the lungs
,Definition 6 of 39
the volume of air remaining in the lungs at the end of a normal expiration
Normal 75-120%
Total Lung Capacity (tlc)
Function Residual Capacity (FRC)
Vital capacity (vc)
Residual volume (rv)
Definition 7 of 39
Increased: flow resistance and residual volume
decreased:
elastic recoil,
chest wall,
alveolar wall tissue> decreased gas exchange,
decreased compliance
vital capacity
ventilation perfusion ratio
compensatory response to hypercapnia and hypoxemia
PaO2
improved: respiratory muscle strength and lung elasticity
decreased: lung compliance and tidal volume
pulmonary age-related changes in the alveoli, chest wall and gas exchange
increased: lung capacity and oxygen saturation
